Press Kit for AIRMAIL(Japan)http://airmail-web.jpBiographyAIRMAIL is a guitar rock band from Japan playing music best described as "Oasis meets Slash". More or less on the alternative/emo side, the four members share no common musical influence, which resulted in a interesting mixture of pop, hard rock, UK, grunge, punk, progressive, etc. It seems that the genre that AIRMAIL belongs to depends on the person who listens, but in any case, the music is full of emotion and loud guitars.Originally formed in 2003 by vocal/guitar Tommy (who is a Japanese, born and raised in Houston,TX) released his first self-produced album "LANDMARK" for free on the internet in 2005.Soon, drummer Yamasaki, guitarist Ono followed by bassist Katsumata joined, which allowed AIRMAIL to play gigs in many live houses mainly in Tokyo.AIRMAIL released their second self-produced album "SOMEWHERE" in 2007.They continued to release singles for free on the internet, including "your star" which was also chosen as the background music for the Japanese web drama "TOKYO PROM QUEEN".All songs are recorded, mixed, mastered and mostly written by Tommy, some sung in English, others in Japanese.Currently, AIRMAIL is working on their next mini album while throwing and breaking guitars on stage.Contributions-"your star" used for the Japanese web drama "TOKYO PROM QUEEN" (http://www.promqueen.jp/)-"simple music" used in snowboard promotional video "ANTIHERO"(2005) by trust6media (http://www.trust6media.com/)-"hope" "lucky" used in snowboard promotional video "THE LIMITED EDITION"(2006) by trust6media-"looper" "snoozer" used in snowboard promotional video "TRIBAL"(2007) by trust6media-"inspired" used in snowboard promotional video "RIDE EMOTION"(2008) by trust6media-Bell-tones released for "your star" "inspired" "simple music" from DAIKI-SOUNDS (http://i.music-daiki-sound.jp/full/dsound)InstrumentationTommy Fukuyama - vocal/guitarTakahiro Ono - guitarDaisuke Katsumata - bassTakayuki Yamasaki - drumsDiscography:"LANDMARK"(album, 2005) "SOMEWHERE"(album, 2007) "your star"(single, 2007) "inspired"(single, 2007) "simple music"(single, 2007) "to live"(mini album, 2009)
